I am sorry if this upsets you but that's the truth. You can go ahead and check other places and compare it to stake and you will see that other places have whales a lot less of their total gambler number chart whereas stake has a good amount of whales as their whole business. Think about it this way, if whales are 20% business of X casino, it is 50%+ of stake, that is just the truth. This started when stake got created and they got rid of all the small stuff like faucets and challenges and so forth, and other places picked it up, so they went to other places.
The first ever place I wagered was primedice which I used the faucet because I didn't know how the game worked, gambled for nearly a week with "free money" and then when I made it up a little enough to withdraw I realized it is fun and I deposited all my money (2 bitcoins but it was very small at the time) and I lost it, so they earned my money fair and square. They are not like that anymore, they only care about whales and VIP's and that's it. It is just the truth.
No I'm not upset, I'm saying my opinion only based on what I feel and based on my own experience in Stake.
I'm not a whale, but I can enjoy all the promotions offered by Stake.
Stake has more whales compared to other sites because of the offers, it is not because Stake is focusing on whales only.
There are still many small gamblers who play regularly in Stake including me.
There are still many nice promotions for small gamblers where players can participate with low budget or even without any budget as they can participate with zero bet as what I said previously.
If they care about whales only, then they should not have such promotion where players can participate with low budget.
